Sporting Life tips for the Ballymore Novices' Hurdle


Sky Bet are offering money back as cash if you back a loser * in the opening race each day at Cheltenham. Check out our team's thoughts on the Sky Bet Supreme.

It's your one free hit every day of the Festival and below are our thoughts on the Wednesday opener.

Easy Game
Willie Mullins and Ruby Walsh had a storming start on Tuesday and they could kick off Wednesday in similar form with Easy Game, whose Navan form looks underestimated given how well he won & how it's worked out.

City Island
I'm keen to oppose Champ and Battleoverdoyen and the slick-jumping City Island fits the bill. He's got a smart blend of speed and stamina and could be too quick for his market rivals in a race that typically goes to a Champion Hurdle type.

Battleoverdoyen
Grade One winner in Ireland and arrives here on a steep upward curve. In very good hands and can give trainer and owner a second successive win in the race at the main expense of Challow Hurdle winner Champ.
